The mixture is allowed to cool and is neutralized with acetic acid; the crystalline product is collected and washed with water; there is thus obtained 480 g. of 3-styryl-5,5-dimethyl-2- cyclohexene-l-one, M.P. 78 C. (see Conia and OLeary (loc. cit.) and Cornubert and Borel, Bull. (l929)l158).

EXAMPLE 2 A mixture of 140.5 g. of p-chlorobenzaldehyde, 140 g. of isophorone, and 700 ml. of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide is refluxed for 5 hours. The mixture is allowed to cool and is then neutralized with acetic acid; the product is dried and recrystallized from 300 cc. of boiling isopropanol. There is thus obtained 100 g. of 3-p-chlorostyryl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one, M.P. 114 C.

Other intermediates dienones are given in Table 1 below, in which the compound obtained in Example 2 is listed as No. 5:

TABLE 1.-DIENONES OF FORMULA II-a 4 ture [ll-b] (double bond conjugated with the carbonyl). Proof of the position of the double bond has been obtained by infrared spectral studies, by ultraviolet studies, and by nuclear magnetic resonance.

EXAMPLE 3 A mixture of 5.12 g. of 3-(o-methoxystyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-l-one (No. 2 in Table 1) and 2 g. of maleic anhydride is heated for 2 hours on a boiling water bath. The product so obtained is dissolved in a minimum of hot benzene. On cooling, there crystalllizes 5.9 g. of the anhydride of 3-(o-methoxystyryl 6,6-dimethyl-M-octalone 1,2 dicarboxylic acid, MP. 167- 168" C.

There is thus obtained compound No. 13 of Table 2 which follows and in which are given other examples of these intermediate anhydrides.

The anhydrides are crystalline substances, soluble in most organic solvents and giving the usual reactions of anhydrides of 1,2-dicarboxylic acids. The properties of the new intermediate compounds prepared are summarized in Table 2.

TABLE 2.-OCTALONE-1,2-DICARBOXYLIC ANHYDRIDES OF FORMULA (II-b) The intermediate products (II-a) and (II-b) make it possible to prepare the various compounds of Formula I covered by the invention.

Mono-acids: These correspond to Formula I in which X=H and Y=COOH. These products are obtained as 1 Bl. 228233 C./1.5 mm, 2 Hydrochloride recrystallized from isporopanol, M.P. 184.

Note-The number preceding the radical R indicates the carbon atom of the ring substituted with this radical.

Intermediate octalone anhydrides (II-b): These intermediate products are represented by Formula II-b in Equation 2. They correspond to Formula I in which X and Y together form an anhydride group COOCO.

The anhydrides (II-b) are obtained starting from the intermediate dienones (II-a) by warming with maleic anhydride, with or without a solvent. The reaction is shown by Equation 2.

Reaction of the dienones (II-a) with/dienophiles such as maleic anhydride and acrylic acid leads to derivatives of A -8 octalone, resulting from displacement of the double bond from its transitory position 4[structure [II-b] in brackets] to position 9 corresponding to strucshown in Equation 3 by addition of the dienones (II-a) to acrylic acid or a derivative thereof.

As before, the double bond in the 4-position in the transient addition product (I-c') is displaced to the 9- position. The reaction is carried out by refluxing the reactants. In many cases, two isomeric acids are obtained, starting from the same reactants, according to the conditions of the reaction. These are stereoisomers which diifer in the respective positions of the R and COOH groups, in relation to the ring. Both the cis and trans forms of these products are covered by the present invention. The various compounds of this group more specifically covered by the invention are given in Table 3.

Conditions of the Reaction:

(:1) Heating 3-4 hours on an oil bath kept at 130140 C. (b) The oil bath is heated gradually to 250 C. and is kept at this temperature for 4 hours.

2 Ethyl ester, M.P. 97 0., and its oxime, M.P. 179 0. Methyl ester, M.P. 101 C. The esters are obtained by esteril'ication of the acid with a mineral acid, or by addition of the diene to the corresponding acrylic esters.

The compounds thus obtained are well crystallized EXAMPLE 7 solids, showing the general reactions of carboxylic acids, and especially can be titrated by acidimetry. Their salts with the alkali metals are soluble in water. Other metal salts, and salts with other inorganic and organic bases are prepared by neutralization in conventional fashion.

EXAMPLE 4 3-styryl-5,5-dimethyl cyclohex-Z-en-l-one, 10 g., acrylic acid, 5.0 g., and 0.1 g. of hydroquinone are refluxed for 3-4 hours (until a sample of the reaction mixture hecomes soluble in dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide). The mixture is allowed to cool and the product is crystallized by addition of water. The material is filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from acetic acid or ethanol. There is thus obtained 6.8 g. of 3-phenyl-6,6-dimethyl- -8-octalone-2-carboxylic acid, M.P. 2l22l4 C.: (compound No. 16 in Table 3).

EXAMPLE .5

o-Methoxybenzylidene isophorone (compound No. 2, Table l), 20 g., acrylic acid, 9 g., and 0.1 g. of hydroquinone are heated for 3 hours on an oil bath kept at l-l40 C. The mixture is allowed to cool and is then dissolved in 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The alkaline solution is extracted with ether and the product precipitated as an oil with hydrochloric acid. The product so obtained solidifies on standing. It is collected, Washed with water, and recrystallized from isopropanol. There is thus obtained 16.8 g. of cis 3 o methoxyphenyl-6,6-dimethyl-A -8-octalone 2 carboxylic acid, M.P. 164 C. (compound No. 19, Table 3).

EXAMPLE 6 o-Methoxybenzylidene isophorone, 20 g., acrylic acid, 9 g., and 0.1 g. of hydroquinone are heated on an oil bath. The temperature of the oil is raised gradually to 250 C. and is kept at this temperature for 4 hours. The mixture is then treated as in Example 5 and there is obtained 12 g. of the trans isomer of that in Example 5, M.P. 208 C. (compound No. 20, Table 3).

A special case is that of 3-(2'-hydroxystyryl)-5,5-di methylcyclohex-Z-en-l-one (compound No. 6, Table 1).

Reaction of this dienone with acrylic acid at a temperature of 130-l40 under reflux on an oil bath leads to the lactone of 3-(ohydroxyphenyl) 6,6 dimethyl-A -8- octalone-Z-carboxylic acid (No. 26), M.P. 190 C. (after recrystallization from ethanol) (oxime M.P. 243 C.).

With cinnamic acid, reaction with the dienones (II-a) gives carboxylic acids of Formula I-d or I-d, the reaction being indicated by Equation 4 in the table of formulas.

The following compounds have thus been prepared: No. 27, R=C H M.P. 215 C. (fter recrystallization from ethanol); No. 28, R:(3, 4) (CH O) C H M.P. 168 C. (d.).

Cinnamic acid, 15 g., 3-styryl-5,5-dimethyl 2 cyclohexene-l-one, 23 g., and 0.1 g. of hydroquinone are heated for 5 hours at 180 C. The mixture is allowed to cool and is dissolved by warming in its volume of benzene; on cooling there crystallizes 5 g. of cinnamic acid, which is removed by filtration. The filtrate is extracted with 2 N NaOH and the 1,3-diphenyl-6,6-dimethyl-A S-octalone-Z-carboxylic acid or its isomer of Formula Id is precipitated by addition of hydrochloric acid.

Di-acids: These correspond to Formula I in which X=Y=COOH. They are represented by Formula I-e. These compounds result from hydrolysis of the intermediate anhydrides (II-b) in alkaline medium.

Table 4 contains data on representative examples of such derivatives:

The anhydride of 3-(o-methoxyphenyl) 6,6-dimethyl- A -8-octalone-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, 2.0 g., prepared as in Example 3 (No. 13), and 40 cc. of 2 N sodium hydroxide are heated until a homogeneous solution is obtained. The mixture is allowed to cool and is acidified with hydrochloric acid. The product which precipitates is collected on a filter and washed with water. It is recrystallized from aqueous ethanol. There is thus obtained 20 g. of 3 (o methoxyphenyl) 6,6 dimethyl-A -8-octalone- 1,2-dicarboxylic acid, M.P. 235240 C. (No. 31, Table 4).

Esters: These compounds are prepared by reaction of the anhydrides (IIb) with alcohols (or with phenols). One can thus obtain either monoor diesters.

In certain cases, the condensation with dienophiles, which leads to the anhydrides'(IIb), and the esterification can be carried out in a single step.

EXAMPLE 9 Fifteen grams of the anhydride of 3-phenyl-6,6-dimethyl-A -8-octa1one-1,Z-dicarboxylic acid (No. 10, Table 2) is dissolved in cc. of anhydrous ethanol; gaseous hydrogen chloride is then passed into this solution to saturation in the cold. The mixture is allowed to stand overnight and is then refluxed for 4 hours. The excess of alcohol is removed under vacuum and the residue is taken up in ether and water; it is washed with a solution of 5% sodium carbonate solution and then with water. The ethereal solution is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed by distillation. The crystalline residue is recrystallized from petroleum ether to obtain g. of 3-phenyl-6,6-dimethyl-A -8-0ctalone 1,2 dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, M.P. 82 C. (No. 34).

(N0. 36).

Amides: The reaction of the anhydrides (IIb) with primary or secondary amines leads to amide acids (I-g or" I-g of Equation 5). R and R have the definition given above.

It is dried in air and then dissolved in water. The mixture is filtered and acidified with hydrochloric acid solution; the precipitate is collected, washed with water, and dried in vacuo. There is thus obtained 7 g. of 3-phenyl6,6-dirnethyl-A -8-octalone- Z-carboxamide-l-carboxylic acid (or l-carboxamide-Z- carboxylic acid), M.P. 190-192 C. (No. 37).

The mixture is stirred for 1 hour. The solution becomes homogenous and then partially crystallizes; the solid is redissolved with cc. of water. The solution is acidified with hydrochloric acid; the crystalline precipitate is collected and washed with water. It is recrystallized from ethanol to give 7.8 g. of 3-phenyl6,6- dimethyl-A -8-0ctalone 2N methylcarboxamide-l-carboxylic acid or the 1-N-methylcarboxamide-Z-carboxylic acid, M.P. 176 C. (No. 43).

There is added 0.85 cc. of piperidine and the exothermic reaction is allowed to proceed; the mixture is allowed to stand until crystallization occurs and the product is collected by filtration. There is obtained 2.6 g. of 3 phenyl-6,6-dimethyl-A -8-octalone-2-(l-piperidinocarbonyl)-1-carboxylic acid or the Z-carboxylic acid-(1- piperidinocarbonyl) compound, M.P. 170 C., (No. 45). Crystallization of this compound from ethyl acetate raises the melting point to l80-182 C.

The reaction mixture is refluxed for 6 hrs. using a Dean-Stark trap to remove the water. The solvent is removed under vacuum. The residue is dissolved in ether and washed with 0.5 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then with water.
